Dr Amir Khan

Dr Amir Khan is a trusted, engaging speaker whose work sits at the intersection of frontline medicine, public communication, and community wellbeing. As a full-time NHS GP in inner-city Bradford, Amir brings an honest view of modern healthcare, grounded in the everyday realities patients face. He is also one of Britain’s best-known TV clinicians as ITV’s resident doctor on Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, translating complex medical issues into clear, practical advice. His biggest achievement is building a national platform while remaining rooted in clinical practice, using his voice to improve health literacy and champion prevention.

Amir’s story starts in Bradford, where he grew up in a British Pakistani family and won a scholarship to Bradford Grammar School. That early academic opportunity opened doors, but his drive came from lived experience, seeing how health, culture, and circumstance shape people’s choices. He went on to study Medicine at the University of Liverpool, graduating with an honours degree in 2004. In his own reflections on bereavement and care, Amir speaks with rare openness about family, faith, and responsibility, which gives his talks emotional range as well as professional authority.

Across his career, Amir has combined clinical excellence with broad public impact. He qualified as a GP in 2009 and later became an award-winning educator, recognised as RCGP GP Trainer of the Year. On television, he broke through on Channel 5’s GP’s Behind Closed Doors, then expanded into hosting and expert roles, including host of Dr Amir’s Sugar Crash and You Are What You Eat on Channel 5. He is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, with ‘The Doctor Will See You Now’ praised for its warmth and candour, and he later published ‘How (Not) to Have an Arranged Marriage’, bringing his insight into culture and identity to a wider audience. Beyond health, Amir is a passionate advocate for nature’s role in wellbeing as President of the RSPB, and a Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts, using these platforms to argue for greener, healthier communities.

Hiring Amir gives audiences a speaker who is credible, relatable, and immediately useful. He covers topics including health and wellbeing, prevention, lifestyle medicine, resilience and mental health, bereavement and compassionate communication, the future of the NHS, and the wellbeing benefits of green spaces. These themes matter because they affect performance, attendance, morale, and long-term health, whether you lead a business, a school, or a public service. He leaves audiences better informed, more confident, and more motivated to look after themselves and each other.
